Thanksgiving in Big D

For Thanksgiving we went to the metroplex. That weekend after McKinney has a Christmas festival in downtown that we went to. It was really neat and "free". Haley got to pet some animals in the petting zoo, ride a carousel and even ride a train.

4th July

Here's some pictures from our 4th of July party. I think Haley liked the idea of the sparklers, but once they were lit, she didn't want to be too close.

Finally more pics

I think Haley just wanted a picture in her jammies, which she has been loving her footed pjs lately. Which I love too, as it makes her look more like a little kid :) And the other pictures is us making icing for Jesus' birthday cake, our new Christmas tradition. Haley said Jesus would like blue icing for his cake, which just happens to be her favorite color :)

It's a Boy!

So, we had THE sonogram this month. Intelli Gender was right! I had read somewhere on the internet that it was 80% accurate, so I guess we were part of the 80% :) Looking back not sure if it was worth it, but the test seemed like a fun thing to do at the time. At least Bryan has a good story of me waking him up to show him my urine sample at 4 in the morning :)

We will be in trouble with Haley, if he turns out to be a girl! She is set on a brother. The dr said she was 99% sure, but I am still looking forward to the next sonogram to confirm :) Here are some pictures of our baby boy.

Who do you think he favors? :)

That time again!

So, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving break, although after acquiring a dog, I think we may just need a full size van or travel trailer. How are we ever going to fit another baby in the car? Really, Tiller (our most recent addition) takes up most of the room :) So, now that Thanksgiving is over, we are thinking about our Christmas cards again. This year we're planning on using Shutterfly's cards http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards. We've used Shutterfly before and had great luck, but they also have really cute ones and great deals! We've typically sent photo cards like this, http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery and then we've also ordered calendars for the family the last two years, http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars/wall-calendars, but I think we'll actually send the traditional cards this year. There's so many cute ones though, it's hard to narrow it down to one :) I would really like to incorporate a picture of all the family, including the newest Hazel and Tiller. So, I'll probably use a card like this...

I really like how you can tell your story on the inside this particular card. We haven't taken any family photos recently so, it will be great to just use random pictures of us for the card.





We should be getting a picture of the newest Hazel this Wed, so I don't have it share now, but here's a picture of our other new addition, Tiller.

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We'll have more pictures to come.

Halloween

Halloween was a hit this year! First we headed over to our neighbors, which they had a pumpkin pre filled with candy. Then we headed off to church for the Harvest Festival. It was so nice to have it all in one place. Haley really enjoyed all the games too! So after the festival, we decided to visit a couple of other neighbors. Haley was so excited, after we got home, she was planning her next "treating". I think she thought we were going the next night. For the next few days, she kept planning out her "treating". She said she was going to walk all by herself, and that mommy could hold baby brother's hand and daddy could walk all by himself. She is very considerate of "little brother" so far :)
